Questions about a Lawrence County release must go to the office that holds the record. The contacts below separate local jail custody, court outcomes, state corrections, and victim notification so a request reaches the right public agency.

Lawrence County Released Inmates is a private website, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, obtain an official record, correct an agency file, or connect a caller with a person in custody.


Lawrence County Jail Questions

Use the jail line for a current physical-custody question, including whether a person remains in Ironton, moved to an outside county, was delivered to ODRC, or was discharged. Ask for the event date and destination agency. A phone answer is preliminary when a written record is needed.

Lawrence County Jail
115 South Fifth Street
Ironton, Ohio 45638
Jail: 740-532-5819

The official jail page does not publish a release-processing schedule or a family waiting location. Call before traveling to the facility.


Sheriff Records Requests

The Lawrence County Sheriff's clerks division is the local records custodian under Policy A-14. Ask for an identified register-of-confinement entry, discharge or transport paper, and the relevant parts of a booking packet. Regular business hours are not stated in the research, so confirm inspection availability by phone.

Lawrence County Sheriff's Office
115 South Fifth Street
Ironton, Ohio 45638
Main: 740-532-3525
Fax: 740-532-7525

The policy allows inspection and copies at actual cost within a reasonable period, subject to lawful redaction. No fixed copy price or guaranteed response day is published.


Lawrence County Court Records

Use Lawrence County Municipal Court for cases in its jurisdiction, Ironton Municipal Court for its city docket, and Lawrence County Common Pleas for felony entries. A court can verify a bond, dismissal, sentence, judicial release, probation order, or termination entry. Court data is not a live jail locator.


Probation Office Contacts

Municipal probation is court supervision, not ODRC parole. Lawrence County Municipal Court identifies its probation office at the Chesapeake address below. Ironton Municipal Court uses its courthouse contact for probation routing.

Lawrence County Municipal Court Probation
10916 County Road 1, P.O. Box 126
Chesapeake, Ohio 45619
740-867-8543
Ironton Municipal Court

Ironton, Ohio
740-532-3062
Fax: 740-533-6088

Ohio Corrections Records

For a person who entered an Ohio prison or appears under Adult Parole Authority supervision, start with ODRC Offender Search. Substantive record questions can be directed to Central Records. The research does not provide public walk-in hours or a direct telephone number for Central Records.

ODRC Central Records
P.O. Box 430
Columbus, Ohio 43216

Identify the person's full name and ODRC number and ask for precise releasable fields, such as date and type of release, eligibility, supervision history, or public Parole Board material.


Ohio Victim Notification

Ohio VINE offers person-specific custody searches and alerts. ODRC also maintains a separate victim-services notification process for state custody and supervision events.

ODRC Office of Victim Services
P.O. Box 430
Columbus, Ohio 43216

For an urgent safety issue, use emergency or professional safety-planning resources rather than waiting for an electronic alert.
